4) Description of goods

All product descriptions, specifications, images and other information published online or in our advertisements is for guidance only and has been made accessible by suppliers, manufacturers and publications (online or otherwise). DJ Tech Direct cannot guarantee the reliability or accuracy of this information.

Whilst we will do our best to help with any questions made via. e-mail, phone or in store, some products are of a technical nature and we are sometimes unable to give full specifications of all products. Full product details and specifications are available from most manufacturer's websites. Please check dimensions and weight of the item(s) of interest before buying.

We always try to be as accurate as possible but all images are for illustrative purposes only and therefore, very rarely, may differ from the physical product.

5) Pricing

Online prices on this website are also available in our "real shop" at 10/11 Zellig (within the Custard Factory building), Gibb Street, Birmingham, B9 4BF. We don't charge more for in store purchases like some!

All prices shown include UK VAT at 20%. This is included for all orders delivered to UK addresses and within the EEC. If you are ordering from the Channel Islands, please country as "United Kingdom (Channel Islands)" at checkout and the shopping cart will deduct VAT from your order total (to be determined by Magento/software testing)

If you are ordering from a country within the EEC from a VAT registered business, we can zero rate VAT if you contact us to order by e-mailing sales@djtechdirect.com with the company name, address and VAT details.

If you are not a UK resident or have lived in the UK less than three months and order for delivery to a UK address, we may be able to refund VAT after you leave the UK, providing you fill in an official document when ordering that you have stamped when leaving the country (e-mail sales@djtechdirect.com for details).

Please also note all orders are placed in sterling GBP. We are not responsible for currency conversions for payments or refunds as this will be handled by your bank or card issuer at the time of payment or refund.

From time to time we may issue special offers, promotions and discount codes for use online or in-store.

Please add the items you want to your basket, hover over the basket (top right of your screen) and click "View Shopping Cart".

12) Damaged / Incomplete Deliveries

You must contact us regarding a damaged delivery within 24 hours of delivery otherwise the claim may be rejected.

DAMAGED DELIVERIES: please contact us immediately (within 24 hours) to arrange a replacement. We may ask for photos of the box, or other information first and will then arrange a same/next day swap.

SHORTAGES: should be noted on the delivery consignment note as "incomplete" at time of delivery and reported to DJ Tech Direct within 3 days from receipt. Any delay in doing so may prejudice your claim. Sometimes we may "part-ship" an order if part of the order is in stock but there is a delay on other items, in which case we will note this on the packing slip.

INCORRECT GOODS: it rarely happens, but in the case of an incorrect delivery, please contact us within 24 hours to arrange a return and redelivery of the correct goods. We may require the serial number and/or other details of the incorrect item before arranging for a swap.

13) Do products include warranties?

All products are supplied with the manufacturers warranty. This is usually at least a year, but in some cases may be longer. Warranties cover faults which do not occur from accident, neglect and/or misuse by the user. Routine maintenance (e.g. user interface configuration as specified in the instructions), is not covered under the manufacturers warranty unless specified.

The full manufacturers warranty is honoured for all customers.

14) Computer Software

When buying computer and software related products, please remember to check that it is compatible with your computer and operating system before ordering. We’ll do our best to advise, but we are limited to how far we can help when the issues are specific to your machine and we can’t held responsible for any issue that arises from compatibility issues.

Most software will require registration to activate the license that you are purchasing. Even ‘free’ software is subject to the same laws. Unfortunately, this means we cannot accept returns of items that have been registered. To protect all of our customers, we may have to verify this with manufacturers if you return software products to us.

15) Warranty repairs

In the case of any fault, please contact us by phone or e-mail, and include:

- Your name - Original order number - Description of the fault - Contact number

UK CUSTOMERS (excluding Ireland): For larger items (items originally shipped by courier) that develop a fault within the first 30 days of warranty, we will arrange courier collection and redelivery (free of charge). For items that develop a fault within the remainder of the warranty period, please return the items to us using a courier service. For smaller items (items originally shipped by Royal Mail) that develop a fault within the first year of it's warranty, we ask you to return the goods by a Royal Mail recorded and your item will be redelivered (free of charge).

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: It is a condition of ordering that you are responsible for courier charges (both ways) for any returns for repair under warranty. Please do not order from us if you do not agree with this condition.

Please keep the original box and packaging for the full warranty period in case of any faults. If you have not kept the box, please pack the item in very strong cardboard with at least 2-4 inches of soft packing materials.

In cases where an item has been sent back to us by the customer, we are not responsible for any damages in transit - please pack the items well! If the goods are packaged in a negligent manner, you will be responsible for the damage that may be sustained during transit and any charges incurred to fix the item(s) will be passed along to the customer.

Products returned which are then found to be working within the manufacturers specifications will be subject to inspection and redelivery charges. In these cases, where we have collected an item from a UK address that is found to be working, a flat £20 administration fee is chargeable, so please check the item carefully before arranging a return. Please contact us for advice before arranging a return.
